Sorry Please Thank You: Stories (Vintage Contemporaries)
by Charles YuThe author of the widely praised debut novel How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe returns with a hilarious, heartbreaking, and utterly original collection of short stories. A big-box store employee is confronted by a zombie during the graveyard shift, a problem that pales in comparison to his inability to ask a coworker out on a date . . . A fighter leads his band of virtual warriors, thieves, and wizards across a deadly computer-generated landscape, but does he have what it takes to be a hero? . . . A company outsources grief for profit, its slogan: "Don't feel like having a bad day? Let someone else have it for you." Drawing from both pop culture and science, Charles Yu is a brilliant observer of contemporary society, and in Sorry Please Thank You he fills his stories with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and piercing insight into the human condition. He has already garnered comparisons to such masters as Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, and in this new collection we have resounding proof that he has arrived (via a wormhole in space-time) as a major new voice in American fiction.

Sospechosos
by David ThomsonLos personajes de Casablanca, Chinatown, El Padrino, El largo adiós, Lolita, El cartero siempre llama dos veces o Taxi driver son solo algunos de casi un centenar de nombres que pueblan la mente del héroe secreto de esta original novela. Escrita a base de pequeños capítulos a modo de biografías, la novela reconstruye las vidas de los personajes antes y después de películas que todos conocemos formando una sola trama con múltiples hilos narrativos donde se enredan, se pierden y se encuentran los grandes clásicos del cine negro norteamericano. La voz a oscuras de un esquivo narrador -cuya identidad no se revela hasta el final- tiene una misión que llevar a cabo, un último caso a resolver, un película definitiva a montar. Allí, Charles Foster Kane, Norma Desmond, Travis Bikle, Norman Bates, Ilsa Lund, Jack Torrance, y Gilda Farrell entre muchos otros, serán los protagonistas de la que acaso sea la más grande novela de cine jamás filmada, una verdadera sociedad noir que de la que todos, de un modo u otro, somos socios y espectadores.
